Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] platform/x86: simatic-ipc: add another model and hwmon module loading

cahnged since v1:
 - switch to using a list of modules per device
 - add p3 and make the watchdog module load code use what p2 created

The first patch just adds a device that is pretty similar to another one
we already had here.

The second patch loads modules for hwmon support, should they be
available. That will save users the need to detect and manually load
those modules after a machine has been clearly identified by its Siemens
Simatic IPC station id.

And finally p3 changes another request_module call to use the mechanism
introduced in p2.

Henning Schild (3):
  platform/x86: simatic-ipc: add another model
  platform/x86: simatic-ipc: add auto-loading of hwmon modules
  platform/x86: simatic-ipc: use extra module loading for watchdog
